Comment 0 for bug 580664

On a default install the touchpad does not work. Adding "i8042.noloop" to the kernel parameters does get the touchpad working. A possible side-effect may be that sometimes key-release events are lost, so "i8042.noloop" may not be the best solution. I notice that sometimes when pressing down-arrow to scroll down a heavy webpage, sometimes when I release the down-arrow it keeps scrolling down until I press down-arrow again.
